The Ministry of Digital Development is discussing the introduction of a fee for Russian companies that use foreign software. “This will make foreign software equal to any other,” said the head of the department, Maksut Shadayev.
First: we believe that it is necessary to create additional necessary incentives for business to switch to Russian solutions, and this should be related to tax incentives. Secondly, if you use foreign software, we are in any case discussing the issue of lowering fees aimed at using foreign software.

If it is not profitable for a business to invest in Russian software, then its implementation may reduce the tax burden.
